I really want to do a coherent review about how this book made me think about the weird, incomprehensible - dare I say, ineffable - details about my own beliefs, how it poked fun without denying the truth of it or being very mean-spirited, how it turned some of it around on its head and ended up uplifting humanity in general, how much I loved the friendship of a dorky angel and a trying-to-be-badass, kind-of-softy demon who unfurled their wings and faced down the Adversary together. But I read the last two hundred pages in a storm as the climax got more and more climactic and I don't have much good to say except AAAAAAH and *muffled crying* so
YEAH, UH, GOOD BOOK YA GOT HERE.

Irreverent and exploratory in the funny sort of way that doesn’t take itself too seriously, with excellent characterization and examination of humanity. Truly lives up to the hype.
